Description: One of the founders of modern nursing and nurse education in Europe and America.
Birthplace: English constellation: Nightingale, Taurus/Kloc-a wealthy family living in Britain in the 0/9th century. When she was young, her parents hoped that she would have literary and musical literacy and enter the upper class. But nightingale herself doesn't think so. She once wrote in her diary: there are three roads in front of me: one is to become a writer; The second is to get married and be a housewife; The third is to be a nurse. In the end, regardless of her parents' opposition, she resolutely chose the third way: to be a nurse. Nightingale-Introduction to Nightingale Nightingale lived in England in the middle of19th century. Hospitals are filthy, patients can't get good care, nurses are the jobs of some ignorant and vulgar women, and her parents even think that her choice has damaged their family's reputation. But nightingale vowed to change all this. From 65438 to 0853, she was the director of London Women's Hospital. 1854, when the Crimean war broke out, she accepted the invitation and appointment of the government, led 38 women, left London and set off for Crimea to work as a field nurse. At first, the work was not smooth, and the soldiers often shouted at them because of pain and dissatisfaction, but Nightingale won the favor of the wounded soldiers with her kindness and superb nursing level. Gradually, the soldiers stopped swearing and shouting rudely. In the dead of night, the nightingale will patrol the ward with an oil lamp. She will carefully check the wounds of the soldiers to see if they have changed medicine, got proper diet, covered the quilt, and controlled their illness ... The soldiers were moved by her behavior. Some patients even lie in bed and kiss her figure on the wall to express their gratitude and high respect. She will also comfort some seriously ill patients, do their psychological work well, and urge soldiers to write home to report their safety. She also sent hundreds of letters to the families of the fallen soldiers to comfort them. These jobs, though unknown, have brought great spiritual and physical comfort to the soldiers. So, soon, Nightingale became a legend among soldiers, and everyone knew such a "lady with a lantern". In just half a year in Crimea, the death rate of wounded soldiers dropped from 40% to 2.2%. 1860, Florence Nightingale established the world's first formal nursing school with funds granted by the British government, and was regarded as the founder of modern nursing education. 1907, the British king also awarded her the Medal of Merit, and she became the first woman in British history to accept this highest honor. After her death, in order to show her admiration, the world designated her birthday (May 12) as the International Nurses' Day. 19 12, the 9th international congress of the red cross unanimously passed a resolution to set up the nightingale prize near the international nurses' day-nightingale, characters experience-nightingale-to care for the sick and disabled in the village, so as to relieve the suffering of the sick and disabled. Her parents opposed her becoming a nurse, thinking that it would damage her family honor. But feudal consciousness and social influence never made her lose confidence in nursing work. When she was young, Nightingale became interested in nursing work because she often helped her father's old friend (a doctor) take care of patients. She visited hospitals and charities in Germany, France, Greece and other places, which enriched her reading ability and strengthened her determination to engage in nursing. She taught herself nursing knowledge and actively participated in the discussion of social welfare, children's education and improving hospital facilities by the Medical Association. Because of her rich family, Nightingale's childhood was extremely rich. The people they associate with are also celebrities, including politicians, literary writers, artists and some local gentlemen at that time. This enabled her to fully enjoy the comfortable life of the Victorian era. However, in nightingale's mind, she is not happy in the face of this pampered life. She is shy and doesn't want to meet strangers. She often feels lonely. At the age of twelve, she studied Greek, Latin, French, German, Italian, history, mathematics and philosophy with her father. Under the guidance of her father, Nightingale made great progress in her studies. She often reads aloud and speaks loudly with her father. When her father went on a long trip, she exchanged feelings through letters. 1837, their family traveled to the European continent, and their parents used their daughter's help to increase their knowledge throughout Europe. At this time, Geer was seventeen years old and Yiran became a beautiful gardening show. The whole family spent a year and a half traveling all over France, Italy and Switzerland, enjoying the lakes, mountains, scenic spots and historical sites along the way, and inspecting the social conditions in various places. Nightingale developed the habit of taking notes and diaries from an early age. What she saw and heard was recorded and became important information for her future school management. She met some famous people in France and interacted with famous women engaged in social activities. She is very interested in politics and people, especially in charity. Since she was a teenager, she believed in this self-belief of serving mankind and her firm will to help the world and do good. After traveling in continental Europe, she found the nursing situation in hospitals extremely bad, and felt that Britain also needed nuns like Paul Tzu Chi Hospital in Saint Vincent to take care of patients. Nursing began to sprout in her heart, and she wanted to be a nurse! At that time, the image of British nurses was: a rough and aging woman, ignorant and unable to perform medical tasks. Nightingale chose this job, which is incredible for her mother! 1839, the whole family returned to England. At this time, nightingale has become dignified and generous, and she often meets my celebrities at home, which attracts the attention and appreciation of the world. She especially likes to make friends with social workers and people from all walks of life who are engaged in innovative work. One of the famous doctors worked in Longlisbury County, which inspired her to go to the hospital to study. At that time, most of the wards in the hospital were a large unified room, and the beds were closely connected and very crowded. There are blood and stains on the walls and floors, and the stench is unbearable for people who come in. This bad situation is everywhere, almost the same. Once, an American doctor named Samuel Howe visited her home as a writer, and Nightingale asked for his advice on becoming a nurse. Dr. Howe praised her idea and encouraged her to make unremitting efforts, but it was difficult to get the approval of her parents. During this period, in order to cater to his parents' wishes, Fudinger studied hard and absorbed new knowledge about health. At the same time, I participated in some social activities under the arrangement of my parents and met two very close boyfriends. One is her cousin Henry Nicholson; The other is Charlie Mains. But their proposal was rejected by nightingale. She decided to be single! What a great decision it was at that time. She is determined to devote herself to nursing! In her diary, she described the mood at that time in detail, and every word was touching. Mains later became a member of Congress and supported Nightingale's career all his life. 1848 At the beginning of the year, she met Sidious Highbert in Rome. He is handsome, elegant and an English gentleman. Herbert and nightingale hit it off at first sight and maintained a noble friendship all their lives. Later, he chose to be the director of operations and gave strong support to Nightingale's career. 1849 10, she traveled to Egypt with her friends again and traveled across the ocean to Greece; In April the following year, I arrived in Athens. Everywhere nightingale went, she visited charities, such as nursing homes, orphanages and related medical aid institutions. 1850 may 12, which happened to be her thirtieth birthday. She wrote this birthday speech in her notebook: I am thirty years old today, which is the age when Jesus Christ began to devote himself to preaching. There should be no more childish behavior from now on. There should be no more thoughts of love and marriage. Just let me think according to God's will and do according to his arrangement. She feels that it is God's responsibility to devote herself to nursing! Nightingale set up a nursing home and volunteered to save people. In her day, no one of status was a nurse. Nurses are often ignorant, rude, alcoholic and untrained women. She took advantage of the opportunity to go to Europe to learn about nursing work in various places. Finally, she chose Kaiserworth Hospital, which she knew, and attended a four-month short-term training course in this hospital, 185 1, and finally realized her dream of studying as a nurse. During her study, she personally realized that nursing work must pay many efforts in order to relieve the pain and give spiritual comfort to patients. From 65438 to 0844, she set out from England and began to travel on the European continent, covering France, Germany, Belgium, Italy and other countries and visiting hospitals in various countries. 1850, regardless of her family's opposition, she resolutely went to Caesavis, Germany for nursing training. Her intelligence was discovered, and she was hired by 1853 as the director of the London Women's Patient Care Association. Nightingale's ambition finally touched her father and promised to support her with 500 pounds a year. And on August 1853, 12, with the support of charity Committee, Nightingale set up a nursing home in London 1 and began to display her ambition. She took many measures, which surprised people at that time. If the patient is asked to ring the bell and a winch is set in the kitchen to deliver food to the patient, she emphasizes that "any woman, regardless of her faith or wealth, can accommodate her illness …" She shows extraordinary ability in her work and everyone listens to her. 1854 In August, cholera broke out in the slums on the outskirts of London. Nightingale volunteered to take part in emergency rescue work regardless of her personal safety. She took care of dying patients in the hospital and ran around all day. Many people died in her arms. Mrs. Kaskell admired nightingale's righteous act because she personally experienced and felt nightingale's dedication. She described it this way: "She is tall, thin and slim; A short, thick brown hair; White and thin skin color; Gray eyes are shining with melancholy and depression, but sometimes they show happy waves, which is really unforgettable; Her teeth are beautiful and neat, and she smiles sweetly. Her head is covered with a long soft hair towel, which is tied up along the hair corner to make her white oval face more beautiful. She often wears a robe made of black silk and a black shawl, which gives people an elegant feeling. The impression of natural and graceful ... "Lantern Goddess, don't look back Nightingale 1853, Turkey, Britain, France and other countries and Russia broke out the Crimean War. 1March 854, Britain and France formally declared war on Russia to help Turkey. In September, the British and French allied forces landed in Crimea. In the report sent back from the front, there are many complaints about the wounded being left unattended. The report said that French wounded soldiers were taken care of by nuns, while Russian wounded soldiers were taken care of by nun sympathy group. Why are there no nuns in Britain to take care of the wounded soldiers? And the medical conditions of the British army are very poor. The death rate of the wounded is as high as 42%. When these facts were disclosed by the media, they caused an uproar in China. Upon hearing the news, Nightingale immediately wrote a letter to Hebert, the wife of the then Minister of Operations, expressing her willingness to lead 40 nurses to the battlefield at her own expense. It was a very difficult challenge for a 35-year-old woman at that time. At that time, female nurses called "Srsters" appeared in advanced European countries, but due to religious and social prejudice, Britain has always opposed the emergence of female nurses in hospitals, especially field hospitals. 10 10/5, Minister Hebert agreed to her request and wrote back to Nightingale, inviting her to lead a group of nurses to Scutari, appointed by the government and given financial support. Nightingale readily agreed, and five days later, the government promulgated her as the head of the female nurse group of the British General Hospital in Turkey. The Nurses' Corps consists of 38 members, of whom 14 are professional nurses selected by hospitals and 24 are selected by religious organizations. 101October 2 1 day, they dressed up and left in a hurry. 1/kloc-0 arrived in Scutari on April 4th, and immediately got into the busy work. Initially, based on traditional knowledge and jealousy, doctors advocated that they were not allowed to step into the ward without the doctor's instructions. Rejected for four consecutive days. Faced with this situation, nightingale first set about improving the diet of the wounded soldiers, changing dirty clothes and cleaning together. She deeply felt that a perfect hospital must have adequate water supply and good drainage system. Three months later, she cleaned 10 thousand shirts. In order to accommodate 800 new patients, she made emergency repairs to the ward at her own expense. Nightingale's active service spirit finally resolved the hostility of the military doctors and won the love and trust of the wounded. She put all her heart into nursing work day and night, and gradually put the hospital on the right track. Her office naturally became the center of radiation warmth and love. The former site of the British hospital was originally a military camp in Turkey. The building is simple and the equipment is extremely scarce. The whole hospital is dirty and messy. As it is scheduled to accommodate 2500 injured people, all corridors are set as wards. These corridors are all four miles long. Hospital beds are crowded, sanitary facilities are extremely poor, ventilation is particularly poor, stench is overflowing, sludge is everywhere in rainy days, sandstorms invade people in sunny days, and groups of mice run around. The environment is extremely bad. Each patient can only get 500 ml of water every day. Due to the lack of beds, many patients sleep on the floor and there are not enough quilts. Some are replaced by canvas, and many wounded soldiers prefer not to use it. Fuel has been lacking, and the food supply is even less satisfactory. General drugs are extremely scarce. Under such harsh conditions, a large number of wounded soldiers were infected with dysentery and cholera. Nightingale took out her own 30,000 pounds to buy medicines and medical equipment for the hospital, reorganized the hospital, established and improved the living environment and nutritional conditions of the wounded, and reorganized the operating room, canteen and laboratory, which quickly changed the face of the battlefield hospital. The field hospital, which can only accommodate 1700 wounded, received 3000 to 4000 wounded after her arrangement. Here, her management and organization can be brought into full play. Six months later, great changes have taken place in field hospitals, and the death rate of the wounded has dropped rapidly from 42% to 2%. This miraculous remarkable nursing effect shocked the whole country, changed the evaluation of nurses in the British government and the public, and improved the status of women. Since then, nursing has attracted social attention. The importance of nursing work is also recognized by people. At the same time, it also opened up and created a lofty cause for women. Nightingale made great efforts to this end. She established a nurse patrol system. Every night, she always patrols the ward with lanterns and often works for more than 20 hours a day. When night fell, she carried a small oil lamp, along the rugged path, and in the camp four miles away, she checked the sick and wounded bed by bed. The soldiers affectionately called her "the lady with the lantern" and "the angel of Crimea". The wounded and sick wrote: "The lights are swaying and floating, and the cold night seems to be full of warmth ... We have hundreds of wounded people lying there. When she came, we scrambled to kiss her slender figure floating on the wall and then lay back on the pillow contentedly. " This is called "kiss on the wall". Therefore, "nurses with lanterns" and "the ceremony of burning candles and wearing hats for nursing college students" have also become the common themes of Nightingale commemorative stamps and special stamps for nurses. Nightingale's great success and selfless work spirit in Crimea have won worldwide praise. The importance of nursing work has been recognized by people, and nursing work has been concerned by the society since then. Overwork made nightingale suffer from lifelong illness. She suffered from Crimean fever in Crimea, and she continued to work until her health fully recovered. /kloc-in October, she returned to Britain as the last evacuee. After the war, nightingale avoided the grand welcoming ceremony of the government and quietly returned to her home in England under the pseudonym of "Miss Smith". She said, "I don't want flattery, as long as the people understand me." Nightingale-Reference 1 Nurses' Day: /shjd /shjd/nurse/nurse.htm
